This is my first story here, please review so I know what I can improve on. There will be more chapters later on.-
My first pain was the death of my parents. It was when the Hidden Rain village became involved in the greats nations war. They had turned our land, my home into their battlefield.
No one would know the fear I felt as I huddled in the corner with my mother on one side, my father on the other, trying to calm me.
Ninja, leaf ninja had invaded our house, we hid due to the fear of being attacked by them. Being mistaken for the enemy.
They were raiding our house for food, we did nothing about it.
"Found anything?" I heard one say, as I heard the slamming of cabinets opening and closing.
"Yeah, some canned goods," another voice replied.
"Our first meal in four days!"
"No, three days."
"Who cares? Let's eat. I won't last another minute."
"Lets search the other places later. We might find more stuff."
My mother looked at my father worryingly, as my father just gave her a reassured nod.
"Now's our chance to make a run for it," he whispered.
I looked up at him unsure, afraid of getting caught, of getting hurt, I whispered back, "What if they see us? I'm scared."
After my response, he gently put his hand on my head ruffling my long red hair for a moment, giving a nervous smile, "Don't worry," he whispered back, "just be very quiet."
It wasn't hard to notice the fear radiating off of him, his eyes were somewhat dilated, a little bit of sweat dripped down the side of his face.
He stood up, followed by my mother, who helped me up. He walked slowly and cautiously, with me not far behind.
He looked around the corner of a doorway before waving his hand, giving us the signal to move.
There was the shuffling of cans being stuffed into a bag in the kitchen.
"Man, that's good!" The leaf ninja spoke again in a tired like voice.
I walked forward only to accidentally bump into a table, I held my breath as I watched the blue vase fall to its doom.
Crash! It shattered.
My parents gasped, just as the leaf ninja appeared in the doorway, holding kunais.
"Who's there?"
Father quickly pushed me and my mother behind him, then ran towards the enemy head on. What was he thinking?
"Damn! Enemies?" the ninja growled, quickly blocking my fathers punch.
"Run now!" he screamed, just as he got punched in the face, but still kept on fighting.
I watched, completely frozen, everything was moving to fast for me to handle.
I didn't even realize my mothers hand on me shaking my shoulder until she spoke, "Nagato, Go!"
I looked at her in surprise, but her head was already turned to the second ninja who was running towards her, kunai aimed and ready.
She pushed me back quickly, making my back hit the wall, I gasped as I lost my breath for a short moment.
I closed my eyes for a moment, but to just to reopen them to see the most horrifying things, something I would never had wanted to see, but I did. Blood soaked the front of her chest, some dribbled down her chin as she looked at me.
The ninja had stabbed her. Why her? Why me?
"Nagato..." she said weakly, she was trying to hold on what little life she had left.
"Hurry...get away..." She fell to the floor with a thud.
I couldn't think anymore, I didn't want to to think. I want this to be over. This is just a dream. It has to be.
I only came back to my senses when my father screamed at me, still holding his own on the same ninja from before. "Run, Nagato!"
My legs trembled, and instead of running like I was told to, I slid down the wall behind me into a sitting position, I feel like such a weakling.
"Run away! Hurry!" He repeated, that was the last thing he would ever say to me.
He was quickly killed just as my mother had been.
His body joined hers on the floor, was I next?
I clenched my teeth, I was angry, they hurt the people I cared for the most. I was sad, I continued to tremble.
Something wet fell down my cheeks as one of my parents killers approached me, looking at me with a sympathetic gaze.
"H-he's just a kid?"
I clenched my hands together, it hurt.
The other killer leaned over my fathers body.
"Oh no...these people are not ninja!"
Stay away from him. Stay away from me.
The other turned away from me, as I continued to sob.
"What'll we do? Why did this happen?"
Stay away...
"How could we mistaken them for the enemy? Damn it!"
Lightning flashed just as I caught a glimpse of one of their headbands.
I will never forget it. Its the sign of killers. These people shouldn't exist.
The man leaned towards me again, closer than before.
I didn't want sympathy, I didn't want anything anymore at that point. Go away, go away!
"W-we didn't know there were still any civilians in the war zone." A pause, "I'm sorry, kid."
At that point the anger in me reached its peak, I couldn't hold it in anymore. It burned.
My eyes...
I screamed, everything went black. I don't remember anything after that. It was like a missing piece of a puzzle. But...
